Stopping and Restarting Scan Jobs
Introduction
You can stop a scan job by pausing or canceling the job. You can also rerun a scan job.
These actions apply to current scan jobs—not to scans to be scheduled in the future. Each
method has different effects, which are described in this topic.
Scan management
options
Most of the options for managing scans are available from the Command Jobs window.
When you right-click a job in that window, the pop-up menu appears as follows:

The unavailable options do not apply to Enterprise Scanner.
